Description (required)

Fixes #6344

What changes did you make and why?

as discussed in the issue the previous license selection screen was just a simple dropdown that didn't explain what the different licenses meant, making it hard for new users to choose. To make this "understandable by people who know nothing about licenses," I’ve overhauled the UI:

  • swapped the old dropdown for a list of Expanding Material Cards.Simplified Choices: Following the comment Make license selection screen understandable by people who know nothing about licenses #6344 (comment) , i’ve limited the options to the three most modern licenses: CC0, CC BY 4.0, and CC BY-SA 4.0 to reduce cognitive load.
  • added short "taglines" and longer descriptions that translate legal jargon into clear rights and requirements (e.g how i used., "Others are free to share and adapt as long as they give you credit").
  • added a blue border highlight and radio button states to make the selection clear.
  • now we can expand a card to see a more detailed legal summary and a link to the full license text on the Creative Commons website

Tests performed (required)

Tested ProDebug on Redmi Note 13 Pro with API level 35.

I like the "more" link. As I am looking at the expand/collapse buttons I'm seeing an opportunity to tighten things up -

The arrow and the description text get too cozy in some of the boxes when you center on the whole card. If you center the first row together, I think it looks neater? What do you think?
